AN AUTHOR VISITS: Mrs Joanne Bader a published author of children's books came to our room today. She has written many Bible story books. Today she came in and read to us an Epiphany book she wrote. Since many countries give gifts on Epiphany I gave each child a copy of Mrs. Bader's book and she was so kind to autograph them for us.
THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU
A big thank you to the class for the signed bear and the gift certificate. I used the certificate to buy some new clothes :) Thank you for the very generous gifts. I am very appreciative for the support I receive from you parents!!!
As I think about gifts my parents gave me as a child I see the gift of a Christian Education as the best gift. I now know the sacrifices that they made to afford my education at Lutheran Schools. I appreciate the extra time my parents spent helping me and volunteering at my schools. I was always surrounded by those who shared with me the story of Jesus and His love. I received a high quality education that formed me into the person I am today. I was taught the power of prayer and how to live my faith. I was constantly reminded that Jesus loves me. I saw my teachers in church and saw them live a life of service and love to God.
I want to thank you for also seeing the importance of a Christian Education. Life is different here at Zion, we are more than a school. We are a family, a family of believers, brothers and sisters in Christ and like a family things are not always perfect, yet we love and forgive each other. We share Christ and we learn about His love. Zion is a great place to be!
Re-enrollment packets are being sent home today. It is my prayer that you are all returning to Zion next year. Please take some time to fill out the packets as it helps with planning for next year if the packets are returned quickly. Please contact Mr. Debrick or myself if you have any questions.
May God bless your new year and I hope to see you in worship this weekend!
In HIM,
Amy
Enjoy the pictures from our Christmas Party!
